Barbell Reverse Front Lunge

Video coming soon...

The barbell reverse front lunge is a powerful exercise that targets the quads and glutes.

By holding the barbell on your upper back, you increase the resistance and engage the quads more intensely.

The glutes are also activated as you step back and lower your body, creating a challenging movement.

While the exercise may involve some activation of auxiliary muscles, its primary focus is on the quads and glutes.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward, and hold a barbell across your upper back.
Engage your core and maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.
Step backward with your right foot, keeping your torso upright and your left knee slightly bent.
Lower your body by bending your left knee until your right knee is almost touching the ground.
Pause briefly, then push through your left heel to return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement with your left foot stepping back, alternating sides for each repetition.
Continue performing the reverse front lunges for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and the barbell resting on your upper back, gripping it with a wide overhand grip. This position will engage your core and stabilize your upper body throughout the exercise.
Take a big step backward with one foot, keeping your torso upright and your chest lifted. As you lower your body down, focus on bending both knees to a 90-degree angle, ensuring that your front knee stays directly above your ankle.
Engage your quads and glutes by pushing through your front heel to bring your body back up to the starting position. Keep your weight balanced evenly between both feet, maintaining control and stability throughout the movement.
As you progress, increase the weight on the barbell gradually to challenge your muscles and promote growth. Remember, proper form is essential, so don’t sacrifice technique for heavier weights. Focus on feeling the burn in your quads and glutes with each repetition.
To enhance your form and prevent injury, pay attention to your body alignment. Keep your chest lifted, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the exercise. Additionally, maintain a steady breathing pattern, inhaling as you lower your body and exhaling as you push back up.
